Reviews for Whitewater Rafting Near Denver

The guides here are awesome, super friendly, clearly experienced, and made us feel safe the whole time without taking away from the fun. The rapids were exciting, the views along the river were beautiful, and everything was really well run from start to finish. It’s also an easy drive from Denver, which made it a perfect day trip for some whitewater rafting. Whether you’re brand new to rafting or have done it before, this is a solid choice and definitely an experience I’d recommend.

I’ve been looking to get into rafting and this place was great for a beginner. Being right outside of Denver, I didn’t have to travel far for a great experience!

INCREDIBLE WHITEWATER RAFTING EXPERIENCE!!!! Super close to Denver, easy check in process, this was our first time rafting and it was AWESOME. The river was beautiful as well. We got the booties and splash jacket and I highly recommend doing so as the water was pretty cold (it's all snowmelt!). We did the beginner trip, can't wait to come back and raft their intermediate section. Our guide Chase was also super awesome, very dialed and professional. Amazing adventure experience rafting clear creek with River Rush Rafting!

The best rafting around! The Boys From Georgia Love It!!

This was our first time whitewater rafting, and we decided to go with this company because they were extremely kind and informative when we reached out. We did their beginner rafting trip, and had an absolute blast. We were on the water for a little over an hour total. Our guide Chase was very knowledgeable and experienced, and empowered us on the river, even though we were nervous at first. The safety talk and paddling instructions were very comprehensive, and the entire time we felt very engaged. Also this is the closest rafting near Denver. This company is amazing, I'm excited to go back for their full day trip to run more of the river!

Had an absolute blast with River Rush Rafting on Clear Creek. If you know Clear Creek, you know it’s not a lazy float — it’s fast, technical, and an adrenaline rush from start to finish. These guys absolutely crushed it. Our guide was dialed in. Super confident, calm, and clearly experienced. The safety talk was solid and professional, but once we hit the water it was pure fun. Big hits, tight lines, tons of laughs — and we felt completely in control the entire time. What really stood out was the energy of the crew. You can tell River Rush isn’t just trying to pump out trips — they’re building something sustainable for their guides and doing things the right way. That kind of leadership shows up on the river. When guides are valued and supported, the experience is simply better. If you’re looking to run Clear Creek and want the perfect mix of adrenaline, professionalism, and good vibes — book with River Rush. Easy decision. We’ll definitely be back.

River Rush Rafting delivers the perfect mix of adrenaline and fun. Whether you’re a Denver local or visiting for the first time, they offer an experience you don’t want to miss!

River Rush Rafting is hands down one of the highlights in the Denver area.
